Is it illegal to Unlock an IPhone 4?
I want to purchase a used iPhone 4 on Craigslist that originally belongs to Sprint. I would get the iPhone 4 for T-mobile, but T-Mobile only has iPhone 4s and 5. I hope to unlock the iPhone 4 for T-Mobile, but not if it's illegal. I want to know if it is illegal to Unlock a used iPhone 4, so that's where you guys come in. I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out with my little problem.
(I HOPE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT JAILBREAKING. JAILBREAKING AND UNLOCKING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS)
It depends on where you are. If you are in the states it is now illegal but if you are in canada it is still legal
It doesn't really matter if is legal or not, you wouldn't get caught anyways. YouTube how to unlock it it'll save you money.
It depends where your location is. In the US, unlocking is illegal if the phone was manufactured on or after January 26, 2013. Otherwise, it is legal to unlock an iphone (manufactured before January 26, 2013).
